Will You Need a Crown?

When decay is caught early, oftentimes it can be repaired with a small filling. However, advanced decay may weaken a significant portion of the tooth. This may be due to trauma like a chip or crack allowing bacteria to enter deep into the inner layers of the tooth. It could also be the result of a lack of preventive care.

No matter what the cause, a crown can help restore aesthetics, function, and confidence to your smile. The modern dental crowns at Greater Long Island Dental:

Allow you to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible
Provide protection against fractures in any remaining tooth structure
Look and function just like a natural tooth
Are incredibly durable and with proper care can last for a lifetime

To learn more about our approach to dental crowns or to talk with a dentist about restorative treatment options, contact us today.

Root Canals & Implants

Most commonly, dental crowns are the final step in restorative procedures like root canals and implants. While an implant replaces a missing tooth, a root canal removes a large area of decay and allows you to keep your natural tooth. Your dentist will talk with you about your options for a crown, including the benefits of each.

We offer several types of crowns at our office, including:

1-visit CEREC crowns – Don’t require a temporary or return visit to our office. These tooth-colored porcelain crowns can be crafted and bonded into place in just a single visit to our office.
Gold crowns – Known for their strength, gold crowns are very durable but lack the aesthetics of tooth-colored crowns
Zirconia – Also called ceramic crowns or tooth-colored crowns, zirconia is very durable and looks great, too.

Busy life? Don’t want to wait or wear a temporary crown?

We get it. Nobody looks forward to a trip back to the dentist office or eating carefully while wearing a temporary crown. Why not just get your crown in one visit? Thanks to CEREC, we can make it happen!

Unlike traditional dental crowns, the CEREC system uses 3D imaging technology to create the “blueprint” used to craft your finished crown. The result is an extremely precise and natural-looking restoration that can be made in under an hour, while you wait in our comfortable office.

FAQs

How often do I need to see a dentist for an exam and cleaning?

A good rule of thumb is to follow the “Rule of 2.” Brush your teeth 2x a day for 2 minutes (and don’t forget to floss daily). In addition, see your dentist 2x a year (every 6 months) for an exam and cleaning. This is enough for most people who have a history of good dental health. But if you have issues with tooth decay or gum disease, our dentists may recommend that you see us a bit more often.

Do you offer fluoride treatments?

Yes! We give all of our patients a flouride treatment, regardless of age to protect their teeth against cavities. Fluoride is scientifically proven to help patients of all ages (not just kids) reduce their risk of tooth decay.

What info should I share with my dentist during an exam?

It’s important to know what brought you here, what you value in dentistry and what would hold you back from completing treatment. We want to know any pains or other issues that you’re experiencing. We also want to know if you have any cosmetic concerns like stained or chipped teeth. In addition, because oral health is so closely linked to whole-body health, tell your dentist about any medical issues that you’ve had recently, as well as any medications (over-the-counter or prescription) that you’re taking.

Do you do “deep cleanings” for gum disease?

Yes, our practice specializes in non-surgical periodontal therapy where your hygienist will ensure that you are fully numb as they remove the embedded toxins that reside underneath the gum line. These areas are impossible to reach without special instruments. Being that gum disease can flare up, we recommend a prescribed periodontal maintenance every 3-4 months with your hygienist. Between these visits and excellent homecare, we are able to arrest the disease and maintain a healthy gum and bone level.
